Retic cage thoughts

[Sauzo]

Dude it’s not even limited to the corners here. Literally the entirety of the glass and every square inch of surface area in the enclosure.

Yeah, Gerald is going over the top especially if he refused food. Caesar wanted to breed but he still had food as his main priority lol. I picture him saying 'go make me a sammich!' after some hanky panky lol.

Plus he never took a shot at me. I would probably freak out if he did as he's pretty big and has a pretty big head too.

What snake are you selling? and How much? And what's the conclusion on the 8 foot cage ordeal, Was boamaster the best option?

Gerald is being rehomed. Not discussing prices in this thread because it’s against the TOS.
Hard pass on boamaster. He tried real hard to push the 15” tall cage on me that I wasn’t interested in and every time I asked about the custom 24” tall cage the price went up with every conversation I had. Jon’s Custom Creations and Reptiles is shipping my cage, with basking shelf and locking glass doors, for about $200 less than boamaster quoted for the same size cage with no shelf and acrylic doors that don’t lock with a big laser etched logo on them.

What is Gerald..? Maybe message me ? I am always looking for new pets. I talked to Jon. i'm not real sure about ordering online from someone I know nothing about. But I might try it. Idk. looking to buy around the 20th. Mind sending me an update when cage comes in? I'm also not too keen on the $40 thermostats he uses

Gerald just went to his new home. He’s a retic and wiley one at that.
I was unsure about buying from Jon too but he’s got plenty of reviews, all 5 star, and seems to be a one man operation. I’ll be updating this thread and maybe make another once I get the cage set up. You can always use your own thermostat instead of his. I bought my own LED lights, RHP, and have herpstats that will be used on this cage. His prices are more than fair imo as well. I would have done AP but they wouldn’t build the design I needed and I also didn’t want to wait 3-4+ months. Next week is 5 weeks from the time of my order and it should be shipping

So far every single enclosure I have ordered in the last two years has taken at least twice the lead time I was quoted. First two T8s were supposed to have shipped in ~3weeks and took 7-8weeks. T25 was supposed to be 10-12weeks and took a whopping 25weeks.
Apparently the behemoth cage won't ship until maybe next monday now. Was supposed to have shipped mid to late last week but I guess the company Jon orders the glass doors from horribly messed up the order...
I originally ordered the cage on Aug 6th and was told 3, maybe 4 weeks. Seems it will now ship at 7 weeks. Good thing Phyllis isn't in dire need of an upgrade... Still a tad annoying though.
